Chapter 1698 1374. Battle of Weizhou (Nine)

Amid the sound of gunfire, the Yuan army, which was quite compact, fell to the ground almost in rows.

The generals in the army kept roaring, but they could not save the situation.

Seeing the soldiers of the Tianqiao Army emerging like swarms in the mountains and forests on both sides, they had no idea how many people there were in the Tianqiao Army, and they only felt the strong crisis of death.

More and more Yuan troops chose to escape.

Especially those soldiers behind the army, seeing that the overall situation cannot be reversed, they no longer have any intention of fighting at this moment.

Just when they fled backwards, some soldiers of Tianqiao army had already walked around them and intercepted their way.

The enshrines of Wuding Hall were already chasing the Yuan army that fled first.

Qiu Muke and others were unwilling to have the Yuan army run away in such an ambush battle. Because if the Yuan army ran away, it would be very likely to notify the Jiuzhai Yuan army coming from behind, causing the situation to change. Is it because they had just arrived here to ambush, and two regiments had already been arranged on the left side of the army, in order to cut off the retreat for the Yuan army to escape.

The entire Yuan army was surrounded on all four sides, three of which were surrounded. Only in the direction leading to Weizhou City, Qiu Muke and others did not arrange soldiers to block them.

They didn't care that there were so few people in these Yuan army fled to Weizhou City, because this would not change the overall situation.

Qiu Muke, Pei Yuande, Shan Cailiang and other generals charged in the army, and each rushed forward in a sensible manner, squatting and shooting, and yelled: "Fight quickly and quickly! Fight quickly and quickly!"

The Jiuzhai Villages are far or near, and there is such a big movement here. If the battle cannot be resolved as soon as possible and waiting for the Jiuzhai Yuan army to arrive behind, it will be a lot of trouble.

The prepared Yuan army is so easy to deal with without the unprepared Yuan army.

"kill!"

The soldiers of Tianqiao's army were even more like wolves and tigers.

The gunfire here also reached the city.

The Yuan army soldiers who had just arrived at the east gate of the city were able to clearly hear the dense gunshots and cannons, which made them look strange.

Those Yuan army who slept on the ground and finally found this opportunity to sleep last night were awakened again, and they almost cursed. As soon as they fell asleep, the sound of gunfire seemed to explode in their ears, which didn't scare them.

Soon, the scout came back with Tu Boda's coach, "General, the marshal asked you to lead five thousand elite troops out of the city and bring the robes outside the city into the city."

"I……"

The general was a little dull and muttered: "I don't even know how many Song troops are outside the city. Wouldn't it be a risk to leave the city rashly..."

But the military orders were as high as a mountain, and he had no choice but to comfort himself. Since the marshal only asked him to lead five thousand elite troops out of the city, he should have some understanding of the power of the Song army outside the city.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed out a few generals, led his soldiers out of the city, and hurried to the place where the sound of gunfire came.

This was beyond the expectations of Feng Hebi and others. They did not know that Tu Boda had transferred most of the Yuan army at the original southern city gate to the east and west sides.

In just a short while, the soldiers of about 5,000 Yuan were more than two miles away from the city. They had just turned the corner and immediately saw the Tian Qiao Army and the Qingyuan Lu Yuan Army fighting.

The sound of gunfire is so close.

And the soldiers of Tianqiao Army also discovered the Yuan army that suddenly broke out of the city.

This also caused some commotion to the Tianqiao Army. After all, the departure of this Yuan army means variables.

"Captain, the Yuan army has come out in the city!"

A soldier hurried to Qiu Muke to report the report.

Qiu Muketon stopped and looked to the west, and found the more than 100 Yuan troops who had already run out of the corner. He frowned suddenly, "How could they be so fast?"

In his opinion, the Yuan army in the city should be gathered at the south gate of the city at this time.

It is obvious now that the arrangement of the Yuan army was not as they expected. The tactic of the Tianmeng Army's attack without breaking was already seen by the Yuan army.

Qiu Muke himself quickly realized that these Yuan troops had already arrived at the east gate of Weizhou City, and quickly turned his head to Pei Yuande and said, "Old Pei, you can lead the Second Regiment and the Fourth Regiment soldiers to block them!"

"good!"

Pei Yuande hurriedly agreed and shouted to the back, "Second Group, Fourth Group, come with me!"

There are commanders who shout and command.

Among the slightly chaotic crowd, many soldiers soon diverted out and followed Pei Yuande to the Yuan army that was getting closer and closer to them.

The two groups are already all the personnel that Qiu Muke can draw now.

This group of Yuan army from Qingyuan Road, which was unknown from some village, was estimated to be nearly 5,000. Qiu Muke originally arranged five regiments on each side of the left and right sides. One of them and the third regiment were responsible for blocking the Yuan army's retreat. At this time, a total of eight regiments that were fighting the main force of the Yuan army were all pressed. Qiu Muke drew two regiments to Pei Yuande, and only two regiments were left under his command.

No more missing.

After all, it has not been long since the battle started. He has drawn more troops and is in danger of being broken by the Yuan army.

Of course this is something he doesn't want to see.

Only when Pei Yuande had just led his army to run away, Qiu Muke hurriedly said to the messenger next to him: "Let Commander Shan divide two regiments and follow General Pei to resist these Yuan troops who left the city!"

In fact, based on his understanding of kindness and the tacit understanding between the two, in this case, kindness should not need to send troops to remind him, but doing so requires a little more security.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

"Roar out!"

When the Yuan army on Qingyuan Road saw reinforcements arrive, the morale of the army suddenly became much more stable.

The sudden emergence of reinforcements allowed them to see hope of survival.

Everyone seemed to have a flash of splendor in their eyes.

Many soldiers who were already ready to surrender and escape also picked up their guns and fought back at the Tianqiao army soldiers.

The scene seemed much more chaotic in an instant.

In just two minutes, the soldiers of the fourth regiment of the Yuan army who ran out of Weizhou City and the second regiment of the Tianqiao Army who went to intercept them entered the range of each other.

At this time, the gap in combat quality between the soldiers of the two armies was once again reflected.

Compared with the Yuan army that only squatted and shot in rows with Shenlong guns, the soldiers of the Tianqiao Army were undoubtedly much more clever in their way of fighting the enemy.

They used battalions as units and squads as small groups, each looking for cover. Even if there was no cover in the middle of the official road, they often crawled on the ground and shot against the Yuan army.

If the Yuan army was like a musket team from the Qing Dynasty, then the Song Dynasty imperial guards were like an army that was moving towards modernization. However, the arms gap between the two armies was not particularly large.

The Shenlong Gun, which was improved by the Ministry of Military Science and Technology of the Song Dynasty, only had a slightly longer range and a more accurate ballistic trajectory, and was equipped with bayonets.

In terms of power, it seems to be different.

Although Pei Yuande only led two regiments to block the attack, the two thousand people were actually not a small number. This still blocked the Yuan army that ran out of the city.

The messengers sent by Qiu Muke have not yet found a kind talent in the crowd.

The kind-hearted talent really took out two regiments of soldiers to resist the Yuan army that left the city without waiting for Qiu Muke's reminder.

He served in the army for so many years and was born as a Confucian general. In terms of tactical command, he was actually not under Qiu Muke.

Pei Yuande led his army to confront the Yuan army that had just run out of the city. From the left side of the official road, two regiments of Tianqiao Army soldiers came up.

After they reached the range, they immediately launched a blocking attack on the Yuan army.

This made Pei Yuande breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he was confident that two regiments of soldiers could stop these Yuan troops, until Qiu Muke wiped out all the Yuan troops from Qingyuanlu. But now Shanliang has also drawn two regiments to fight side by side, which can always reduce a lot of pressure. At the same time, the losses should be less.

But the Yuan general who led his army out of the city looked bad.

It was not that he had thought that the Song army could respond so quickly, that the Song army was already famous all over the world for being good at fighting. However, he did not expect that the Song army could draw so many troops.

Looking at the official road and the dense Song army soldiers in the dense forests on both sides, he felt a little numb, and suddenly felt that he might not be able to save the reinforcements.

He also wanted to lead his army to break through the Song army's blockade, but seeing the soldiers in the front row hit the ground one after another, he knew that this was definitely not an easy thing to achieve.

At this moment, he felt anxious and helpless.
